ing down towards Eean, to clear the
track for the snow plow to run at the
gut. One of the snow shovelers, an old
man named Hanson, 65 years OF age and
very deaf, was found to be incompetent
and was sent back to Egan by the fore
man. BE went down the track q
short distance and soon after the snow
plow commenced backing down the track
preparatory for run, whistling and
signaling as usual. The old man was
evidently too deaf to hear,and the engine
backing down the track threw his body
underneath, and the snow pillow in front
dargged him several hundred yards.
Then the engine started forward for the
cut, and the other engines coming up
the track run over the body again. The
engineer of the last train noticed what
be thought waH coat lying on the track
and upon further examination discover
ed the body of the unfortunate man. He
was torn in pieces: his brains dashed out
and strewn all along the track. The
fragments were picked up and brought
to Egan. @here coroner's inquest will
be held to-day.

The chairmen of the house and council
committees on appropriations have been
served with the following missiye from
Governor Church:
respectfully call the attention of the
Legislature to the fact that the executive
has power, under the laws of the terri
| tory, to contract for the care and main
| tenance of the insane and of convicts,
| and would respectfully suggest that
the appropriation bills contain only
such Items as properly belong there.
There is ample time between the present
date and the day of final adjournment
OF the Legislature to dispose of the ap-
preparation bills SO that the executive
can have an opportunity to carefully ex-
anime the same in order that any object
ions he may have may be fairly con-
sldered,
This is fair warning to the legislature
that extravagant appropriation bills will
encounter the veto Of the executive. 1t
might seem at first glance that the
governor is indulging In unwarranted
assumption in serving upon the legisla.
ture this extra-execntive note OF warning.
But he has before HIM
the experience of his predecessor
with the. omnibus appropriation bill of
last session, measure which contained
all the appropriations for public institu-
tions and in addition many thousand
dollars of clear steal. This bill was sent
to the governor during the closing hours
of the session, when it was too late to
hope for the passage of separate meas
ures for the maintenance of public in
ssitutions. Under this pressure the
governor signed it, though he knew he
was being made the victim of con-
spiracy to plunder the territory. Gov
ernor Church probably had this episode
in his mind wien he served the above
notice upon the legislature. In the
present instanceit was perhaps unneces-
sary, as there has been no disposition
manifested to repeat the pIunderinf
scheme of two years ago.
